Endomondo launched the feature today. I’m doing a half marathon in May 2011 – Broløbet 2011 – and in this post you’ll see that event shared…

The most recent update to the online groups featuring content about Denmark, Danes or Danish has been posted at http://bit.ly/dkgroups. Notable developments include: Danmark Unlimited (Xing-based): is still #1 and outgrew the closest competitor DABGO by 4 new members.
